I used to bring the back up to finish a quilt, but I like the bindings a lot better. They look neater and will make your quilt look nicer. I have made both bias bindings, and straight ones. I like the bias bindings the best, they seem to lay a little flatter. After the quilting is done, I like to square up the corners and trim so the border is the same all the way around the quilt. I also get better results if I zigzag around the edges first, before I put on a binding. I also use a walking foot.
